Very interesting series, I learned a lot. Curious about how many man-hours are invested in the project. I’m building a John Armstrong 12x16 plan and would like to know about how long it will take.

I noticed you mentioned the various manufacturers of the coal hoppers. Would it be possible to get part #'s?

All tips are good tips from these two presenters, but take a look at the surrounds they work in…so neat, clean and uncluttered!

Everything looks great! Coal loads look realistic.I made mine just about the same way you did yours and have had many comments about them. Keep up the good work.

Great Video! as usual. Thanks!

Slipping a washer inside the resin so the coal load can be picked up by magnet is very cool!

For some time now, I’ve been trying to figure out an easy way to remove coal/ore loads from their respective cars. The metal washer method was a real wake up!
Can’t thank you enough…

Great progress!
I have a slightly different medium but have found that over time when using white wood glue to glue in coal, sometimes the loads break away. I glue coal to a piece of wood coated with polyuerthane sealer. Have found that when I substitute clear silicone rubber the coal never separates.
